When he returned to Kirino's old house, Soya didn't see anyone in the living room, thinking that Kirino Akane had already returned home.
The weather was stuffy, and when he went to the room upstairs to get the electric fan, he heard a vague movement in the backyard. He looked through the window and found that she was bent down and squatting in the vegetable field.
"Tungno."
“Hey…”
Akane Kirino turned her head and looked behind her, and there were no people on both sides.
"Songya?"
He raised the electric fan in his hand, "Here."
"Don't throw it down!"
“…it won’t be thrown away.”
Zong Gu put down the electric fan, "What are you doing?"
Akane Kirino raised her arms and waved her to him, a red flashing through her palm.
tomato?
No, the tomatoes planted in early May are far from harvesting now.
"Pick the carrot~"
She exposed the green leaves hidden on the back of her palm, which were the cherry radishes planted by her parents at the end of May.
Zong Gu looked from a distance, "Is it mature?"
"Yeah. After planting cherry radishes, you can harvest them in at most twenty or thirty days! Zonggu will come down too~"
"Here you come."
When I went downstairs to the vegetable field in the backyard, there were already many newly pulled cherry radishes piled up at Akane Kirino's feet.
"When filling out the questionnaire just now, I suddenly thought that these radishes should be almost ripe."
"Yeah."
Zong Gu didn't ask her what she thought of, after all, he might not understand what she said.
"Cherry radish seems to be eaten raw."
"Yeah, you can eat it after washing it." Akane Kirino nodded, "But you have to peel it first, otherwise it will be very spicy."
"I see."
Cherry radishes are not planted deeply, or very shallowly. After they are mature, the upper part of the radish is exposed outside the soil, and can be unearthed with a slight pull.
After pulling out a few radishes, Sonogu looked at the extremely efficient Akane Kirino, who was next to him, "Are these radishes eaten for dinner?"
"Hey... it's not good to just eat carrots?"
“That’s enough.”
“Okay~”
Akane Kirino put his hands together, picked up the cherry radish with mud on the ground, and took it to the pool to clean it.
After patting the soil on his hands, Zong Gu also went to help.
The sound of water was rustling, and the two of them used their hands together to rub the mud and sand on the radish into the water, revealing a brighter color.
“It seems a bit too much…”
"Who told Kirino to pull it up and it's endless."
"Put the blame on girls will become unpopular, Zong Gu Jun~"
“…Where did you learn this kind of words?”
“Hahaha—I saw it on TV!”
As she was washing, Akane Kirino suddenly found a perfectly round cherry radish. After washing it, she held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, and let Soya appreciate it together.
"good."
"Perfunctory!"
After playing with it for a while, she put this special radish aside.
Zong Gu took a look and said, "Do you want to keep it for collection?"
She smiled, "It's going to fade...I want to give it to Hongzi."
He nodded and said nothing.
"Songgu just went to Hongzi's house. Have you seen her?" Akane Kirino asked again.
"I took a look and got off."
"How about it?"
Zong Gu locked the water down a little, "and was still weak."
"Hongzi..."
"It's just the flu. It's very fast to recover, so don't worry too much."
She smiled again, "Yeah!"
Since I wanted to use cherry radish as a gift, it was really unreasonable to give only one, so Akane Kirino planned to pull out some of it in the field.
Zong Gu stopped her, "It's time to pull her out before going to visit her, and it's still fresher."
"Tomorrow?"
"I don't know, it depends on the situation."
After almost washing, Zong Gu turned off the faucet and suddenly a question came from above his head.
"What are you doing?"
Looking up, Yue Du was lying on the window and looking at them below.
"Wash the carrot."
"Ah?" He didn't hear clearly.
“…”
Zong Gu didn't say anything and glanced at the headphones on his head.
Fortunately, Yuedu realized this quickly and took off her headphones.
"It looks pretty... Can you eat it?"
"Just eat it."
“How to eat?”
Zong Gu picked up a cherry radish, shook the remaining water stains on it, and threw them towards the window above.
“Eat raw.”
Yue Du stared at the flying radish, and closed his hands as it approached.
Bang!
His movements were slower, and the carrot passed through the palm that was about to close, right in the middle of the door.
Dong.
“…”
Soya shook his head, helped Aka Kirino pick up the remaining cherry radishes and returned to the house.
"It hurts so much..."
Yue Du rubbed her forehead, lowered her head and searched, picking up the red radish rolling down beside her.
After rubbing it a few times, he bit it down in one bite.
“So spicy!”
......
During dinner, I saw a plate of cold radish on the table, and Yue Du was still in fear.
He didn't touch a piece until he finished his meal.
"Don't you like to eat? What a pity."
"I can't quit...you are quite awesome."
After a while of busy work, Sonoya came out after taking a shower. Akane Kirino was lying in the living room, occupying his electric fan.
She took a shower before him and would stay here tonight, wearing a beige pajamas and her cell phone was on her face.
"Don't get too close... Be careful that your eyes become like Yoshikawa."
"I understand."
Soya sat down in front of the electric fan, and some wind could be blown. Akane Kirino looked away from her phone, and then turned the electric fan toward him.
"A little wind is enough."
"I'll come here too."
As she said that, she rolled around the tatami and stopped in front of him, "That way she can blow it."
“…”
Zong Gu glanced at her belly.
While rolling, the pajamas were slightly raised up.
"What are you looking at, pervert."
Akane Kirino soon discovered this and didn't care. She pulled her pajamas, stretched out her feet to intimidate her, and then stepped on his legs.
Seeing this unexpectedly comfortable, she simply put both feet on.
“…”
His bare feet swayed in front of his eyes, and Zong Gu did not move.
She continued to look at her phone, "It will be the Chinese Valentine's Day in a few days."
"Um."
"But the Chinese Valentine's Day Festival in Kyoto is in August."
"Because the old customs of the past are preserved. By the way, the Qixi Festival in Xiantai is also in August," said Zong Gu.
Akane Kirino looked over, "Soya's hometown..."
"Well. The Qixi Festival in Xiantai is one of the three major festivals in the Northeast. It is very lively every year... and the Qixi Festival fireworks conference."
"I want to go."
“…”
Zong Gu did not respond, grabbed her ankle and placed it on the tatami, while thinking about some reason to fool him.
Just the next second, her feet were put on again.
"I want to go to the northeast."
"The transportation fee is very expensive from Kinki to Northeast China, not to mention that it is just a round trip."
"ah……"
The vibrating phone interrupted Akane Kirino's hesitation.
After looking at the newly received news, she was stunned for a moment, "Hongzi has sent a message."
"Yeah."
Zong Gu didn't care much, "It probably has been enough sleep."
“Yes…”
After chatting with Yoshikawa for a few words, Akane Kirino suddenly sat up and faced him.
“…Kuno.”
She cared more about what she wanted to tell him than the distance between them, "Look."
“…”
Sonogu looked at her cell phone.
Hongzi: There is one more thing.
Hongzi: Let Zong Gu come to my house again after school tomorrow. The questionnaire has been filled out, so I will ask him to take it back to school.
